You can import your existing content from Medium, Ghost, or WordPress. The process is straightforward: export from your current platform, upload the file here.
1. Export your content
Go to your Medium settings, navigate to Security and apps, scroll to Download your information, and click Download zip.
Before importing: Open the zip file and delete the comment files. They're small HTML files (usually under 5KB) in the posts folder. Medium includes comments mixed with your posts, and you don't want those imported as articles.
2. Upload
Once you've cleaned the zip, upload it. That's it.
1. Export your content
In your Ghost admin, go to Settings → Labs, then click Export to download a JSON file with all your content.
2. Enter your Ghost site URL
We need your Ghost site URL to properly import images. Enter something like https://yourblog.ghost.io
3. Upload
Select the JSON file and upload it.
1. Export your content
In WordPress, open Export, select All content, and click Download Export File. You'll get an XML file.
2. Upload
Upload the XML file. Done.
After import, check your posts. Some formatting might need adjustments depending on how your previous platform handled things.
